In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
svcrdma: fix miss destroy percpu_counter in svc_rdma_proc_init()
There's issue as follows: RPC: Registered rdma transport module. RPC: Registered rdma backchannel transport module. RPC: Unregistered rdma transport module. RPC: Unregistered rdma backchannel transport module.

If register_sysctl() return NULL, then svc_rdma_proc_cleanup() will not destroy the percpu counters which init in svc_rdma_proc_init(). If CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is enabled, residual nodes may be in the 'percpu_counters' list. The above issue may occur once the module is removed. If the CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU configuration is not enabled, memory leakage occurs. To solve above issue just destroy all percpu counters when register_sysctl() return NULL.
AnalysisAI
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: svcrdma: fix miss destroy percpu_counter in svc_rdma_proc_init() There's issue as follows: RPC: Registered rdma transport module. Rated medium severity (CVSS 5.5), this vulnerability is low attack complexity. This Memory Leak vulnerability could allow attackers to exhaust available memory leading to denial of service.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is classified as Memory Leak (CWE-401), which allows attackers to exhaust available memory leading to denial of service.

Affected products include: Linux Linux Kernel.
RemediationAI
A vendor patch is available. Apply the latest security update as soon as possible. Ensure all allocated memory is properly freed. Use RAII patterns or garbage-collected languages.
